AutoRFP.ai has been ranked #29 on the 2026 AFR Fast Starters list, published by the Australian Financial Review on 10 November 2026 as part of the Australian Financial Review’s Fast Lists for 2026. We are proud and grateful to see AutoRFP.ai named among Australia’s fastest growing companies this year.

What the AFR Fast Starters list measures

Fast Starters is the Australian Financial Review’s ranking of Australia’s fastest growing companies founded since July 2021. Each company is ranked by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of its revenue over FY24 to FY26, so a place on the list reflects growth measured across that whole period.

AutoRFP.ai recorded a CAGR of 388.79% from FY24 to FY26, which placed us at #29 on the 2026 list. Being recognised alongside so many ambitious young Australian companies is a proud moment for everyone who has helped build AutoRFP.ai.

What AutoRFP.ai does

AutoRFP.ai is the accuracy-first, AI-native platform for RFPs, security questionnaires, and DDQs: every answer is written from content your team has approved, and shows the sources behind it.

Bid, proposal and security teams use our RFP response platform to draft answers from their own approved library, check the cited source behind each one, and route anything the library cannot support to the right person for review. Approved answers go back into that library under your team’s control, so the content behind the next response keeps getting stronger. Our guide to generating trustworthy AI RFP answers explains how that source-grounded approach works in practice.

Thank you to our customers and our team

This recognition belongs to our customers first. Thank you to every team that has trusted AutoRFP.ai with the responses that matter most to them, and for the honest feedback that has shaped what we build along the way.

Thank you, too, to our team, whose care for accuracy shows up in every release and every customer conversation. You can meet the people behind AutoRFP.ai on our About page.

We are grateful to the Australian Financial Review for the recognition, and we congratulate every company named on this year’s Fast Lists. If you would like to see how AutoRFP.ai handles your own RFPs and questionnaires, we would love to show you.
